متن کاملTwo Clinically Unusual Cases of Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides: One with and the Other without Syringotropism
Mycosis fungoides is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and it rarely exhibits predilection for hair follicle and eccrine gland infiltration. Here, we present 2 similar cases that display folliculotropism with varying amounts of follicular mucinosis, with and without syringotropism. The features observed in both cases were cystic, comedo-like, acneiform lesions; generalized invo...
متن کاملBrain and lung involvement of mycosis fungoides demonstrated by radionuclide imaging.
A patient with advanced mycosis fungoides developed neurologic and respiratory symptoms and signs following multiple courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
